Would you post a summary, if you get some info?
There is a 24x24 bitmap Chinese font in .bdf format that can be ftp'd
from hanauma.stanford.edu, or at least there was a short time ago. I
append to the end of this message the Bourne shell script I used to
retrieve it, for reference. This font is intended for use with X
windows as a screen font, but with what specific piece of software, I
don't know. I renumbered the characters and compiled the font to the X
.snf format, and found that it can be displayed with kterm,
the X application for displaying Japanese, except the 24x24 size is too
large.
I have some programs to manipulate this 24x24 data into .tfm/.300pk
form for use with TeX, or rather a modified form of JTeX.
There are bitmapped Chinese fonts available also with JingBai Wang's
word processing software, which he has advertised in comp.text
and soc.culture.china. There are 14x14, 16x16, 24x24, and 48x48
sizes.
And that's all I know.
